Selling a Corner Lot,

Young Hazard was the happy possessor Of
a corner lot and the unhappy possessor of an
empty purse, with payment on said corner lot
staring him in the face, which he must meet
or lose the lot. The one escape was in making
an immediate sale of the lot, and in this task
young Mrs. Hazard came to the rescue. She
arrayed herself in former theatrical outfit,
completely Disgusting her identity, and called
on wealthy real estate dealer, who had the
refusal of the property at $50 foot, the top
market price. She stated that she understood
he was the owner of the lot, and that since
she had taken q fancy to the location, and de-
sired TO build a handsome home Immediately,
she would give him SIS foot for the same.
The suaye dirt dealer" informed her that
the lot was his and that if she would call
around OH the morrow they would complete
the bargain, chivalrously not requiring any
deposit to bind the refusal. He then.hurried
around to young Hazard to tell him he would
take the property, but found it had advanced
in price to $50 per foot, which he reluctantly
paid and got deed. In vain he waited and

in which some believe that the Norfolk hero
was born; but my lords encourage adverbs
and discourage admirals. If were to draw

Daniel webster's Famous Chowder.

On one of these pleasant occasions Mr.
Webster had obtained from Boston some rock
cod, crackers, salt pork and onions, and he
made a chowder. He had large iron kettle,
and, having fried his pork, cut up into small
pieces, he deposited in the kettle, successfully,
layers of fish, crackers and potatoes and
onions, over and over again, until there was
no more room. Then pouring in half gall
Ion of milk, he rubbed his hands, exclaiming,
"Now for firel As Mrs. Macbeth said, If
tits to be done, when it's done then tits well to
have it done quickly" Iquote from MEM
DRY, but / shall never forget his joyous ex-
preston of countenance and the merry twink
ling of his deep set blazing black eyes, The
chowder, favored with the pork, was a sue
cess, and was much enjoyed by the Yankees
present, although the southerners evidently
did not fancy it, with the exception of Judge
Butler, of South Carolina, who declared that
it was more palatable than terrapin. To in
sure digestion Mr.. Webster prescribed to each
guest tumblerful of a medicinal prepara-
ton of Santa Cruz rum, brandy dash of
arrack, loaf sugar, lemon juice and strong
iced tea properly compounded. This was the
famous Marshfield punch. No one who ever
drank it ever forgot its seductive excellence,
but some found to their sorrow that it had a
fearful kick the next morning. CIV ashington

Traits OF the Burmese.

A few words must be said about the per-
sonal character of the Burmese, whose pres
emit mission it is for the English to morally
cultivate. Lord Dalhousie, the governor
general of India, in his war proclamation of
1852 thus speaks of them; and if the noble
earl was correct in his estimation of this peo
pie, it would appear that they have identi-
cally the same natures as the British, and by
substituting "west" for "east" we have the
typical Englishman. He says: "Among all
the nations of the east none is more arrogant
in its pretensions for superiority, and none
more pertiuacious in its assertions of them.
than the people of Burmah. With them
forms are essential substances, and the method
of communication and the style of address
are not words, but acts. The kings of Bur-
NAH have fashion of calling themselves by
many titles, of which these are a few:
Golden Feet, Builder of the Royal Palace,
Ruler Of the Sea and Land, Lord of the Celes-
tial Elephant and Master of Many White
Elephants, Lord Of the Power of Life and
Death and Great Chief of Righteousness
"They are a strong and muscular race of
people, The bodies of the men are frequently
tattooed from about four inches above the
hips to little above the knees, and represent
uncouth figures. They are domestic in their

Profits of the Cattle Thieves.

The profits of the 'rustlers," or cattle
thieves, were something enormous and they
always had ready market for all they STOLE
Their plan was to cross the frontier line into
old Mexico in parties of about twenty, and
round up and run off the cattle and horses of
the Mexican ranchers. The stock was driven
to Cloverdale, beautiful valley lying at the
entrance of Guadalupe canon. close to the
line, where the brands of the owners were re-
moved in the following ingenious manner:
An ordinary horse blanket was dipped in
water, wrung out and placed over the brand
to be removed A frying pan was then heated
in the camp fire, and when nearly red hot
was applied firmly against the wet blanket
The steam thus generated scalded tho hair
off, and when it grew out again a new brand
was applied. Cor New York Star.

Drilling the Children to Death.

Travelled once on the Rhine with highly
educated German long resident In England,
who used to say, when we saw the groups of
demure little boys and girls going to school at
in the morning, with their knapsacks of
books on their shoulders, 'That is what is
Supplying the German nation; they are be-
ing drilled to death; they have no games, no
lively sports, no vivacity; one wide awake
English school boy is worth the whole of
them" He had never been in America, but
we, who find the English children dull and
slow to mature compared with Americans,
can make the needful addition to this state
ment. No one can deny the sure tendency Of
the German training to produce thorough in
vestigators and admirable analysts; but, after
all, our system, with all its faults, produces
mental alertness, and theirs does not. Com

or even an English boy of the same age;

Successful Modern Plaxs.

No man to-day shows his love or his hate.
he neither toasts his mistress at the "Kit-C Cat
club" nor shoots his rival in Lincoln's Inn
field. If he believes in anything, that is the
one thing OF which society forbids him to
speak; if he regrets anything, he must assume
indifference; if he wants anything, he must
walk i'll the opposite direction to that in which
it may apparently be obtained. What scope
does behavior of this sort afford for dramatic
representation How are the materials of a
great play to be found in this concealment of
feeling, this pretense of indifference OBJ
viously the only two ways in which it can be
treated on the stage are ether the cynical or
the humorous, and accordingly we find that
the most successful modern plays are those
in which one or tho other of these elements
prevail. -Contemporary Review.

An Astounding Piece of News.

A fashionable young lady acquaintance of
mine, who has but recently returned to
Brooklyn from trip abroad, brings back an
astounding piece of news. She informed me
the other evening that strong reaction was
setting in among the American manageable
girls against the titled style of sutton. 1.-THE
American girls who have married noblemen
have, in SO many instances. led miserable
lives, that it has created panic all along the
line" she said, half smilingly. 1.-THE noble
men are not always to blame either. You
see they have often been brought up in the
most selfish fashion, and they naturally inn
agine the obligation should be all on one side.
Then it is very difficult for an American
young lady to adapt herself to the life abroad.
She finds all manner Of stumbling blocks
thrown in her way, and altogether do not
see how she can possibly be as happy with
foreigner as she would with a good clear
headed common sense American husband
even if she is called countess or duchess.
Then there is another drawback These titled
foreigners may recognize us American we.

Death Among the Poor,

statistical statements is a paper by Mr..
Humphreys before the Royal Statistical
society, giving a mass of collated figures to
show that death, so far from being no re-
specter of persons, is the greatest snob of ALL
He demonstrates that poor peoples children
find measles ten times as fatal as do those of
the rich; typhus five times as fatal, convul-
sions thirteen times and scarlet fever twice.
In the matter of adults, he shows that the
rich and idle people live the longest of all,
and professional men next, while hard work
everywhere shortens life The figures are
very curious and suggestive.-New Orleans

The Good Old Names.

Eugene Field has been examining the list
OF names OF young ladies who took part in
the recent Easter festival in Boston, with a
view to ascertain what sort Of Christian
names are in vogue nowadays In New Eng
land. An interesting instance, this, of the
tender interest Of westerners in the WAYS of
the "old home," Is it nota But what a shock
of disappointment the western inquirer was
doomed to. Among fifty-four young lady
representatives of Massachusetts society,"" he
says, 1--WE find but one Mary. And not one
Ruth, nor Mercy, nor a Charity, nor
Faith. OF course we did not look for such
good old names as Prudence, Thankful and
od-Be-Glorified, but neither did we expect
to find the representative girls of Boston
wearing the very same names that abound in
the west and in the other crude parts Of our
country. Boston appears neither to have
progressed nor to have abided by the good
old times What has become Of the Mar
garets, the Nancys, the Julias, the Cornelias,
the Elizabeths, the James, the Augustus, the
Eleanors, the Joans, the Matthias and the
rest OF those dear, noble creatures who, some
way or other, are associated in our minds
with history or squash piess"
Whatever has become Of them, Mr.. Field
did not find them in this list, and instead Of
them four Mauds, four Mabels, three Lilians,
three Georges (heaven save the markD, three
Berthas. three Florences, two Daisies, two
Elias, with Sadie and Kittie and Mamie and
lot more in "ie." The Ruths and Olives
and Mercys and Nancys are not quite obso-
lete, however, in Boston, and it is worth not
ing that among the names of the very little
girls a revival of the fashion for these dear
old names is evident.-Boston Transcript.
